Next Alexander

Here is another in the series of Alexander pieces I completed at the beginning of 2009.

There is definitely something I find appealing about doing work from history that requires a bit of research and reference. That was one of the things I enjoyed most about my Inuit work - getting to research and learn about all the different people and their clothing, tools, and lifestyles. This is no different - it was for a history textbook, so required that it be as accurate as we could get it.

I'm no historian, so I won't claim that everything is perfect, but if not, it is at least pretty close.

This, by the way, was also one of my favorites of the series of images I did. Alexander overlooking his empire! I really love drawing wide, panoramic, environmental scenes.
